Balancing a full-time teaching job with competitive exam prep like SI or school assistant posts is the ultimate endurance test. Most people think you need to quit your job to succeed, but that is a risky move without a safety net. The key is finding that syllabus overlap and milking every spare minute—commutes, lunch breaks, and early mornings. On the flip side, we have thousands of graduates stuck in the UPSC trap with no backup plan and a total dislike for the coding/IT sector. It is time we stop glorifying the all-or-nothing approach. Whether you are a teacher aiming higher or an ECE grad avoiding code, the strategy remains the same: diversify your skills, network like crazy, and do not be afraid of entry-level roles to get your foot in the door. Success is not just about the dream government job; it is about finding financial stability and maintaining your mental health through the process. #career #education #strategy https://thoxt.com/l/l59XAP 🔗
